“An optimistic view on why collective action is still possible - and how it can be realized.” (The New York Times)
“As far as heroic characters go, I’m not sure you could do better than Katharine Hayhoe.” (Scientific American)
"It’s not an exaggeration to say that Saving Us is one of the more important books about climate change to have been written." (The Guardian)
United Nations Champion of the Earth, climate scientist, and evangelical Christian Katharine Hayhoe changes the debate on how we can save our future.
Called “one of the nation's most effective communicators on climate change” by The New York Times, Katharine Hayhoe knows how to navigate all sides of the conversation on our changing planet. A Canadian climate scientist living in Texas, she negotiates distrust of data, indifference to imminent threats, and resistance to proposed solutions with ease. Over the past 15 years, Hayhoe has found that the most important thing we can do to address climate change is talk about it - and she wants to teach you how.
In Saving Us, Hayhoe argues that when it comes to changing hearts and minds, facts are only one part of the equation. We need to find shared values in order to connect our unique identities to collective action. This is not another doomsday narrative about a planet on fire. It is a multilayered look at science, faith, and human psychology, from an icon in her field - recently named chief scientist at the Nature Conservancy.
Drawing on interdisciplinary research and personal stories, Hayhoe shows that small conversations can have astonishing results. Saving Us leaves us with the tools to open a dialogue with your loved ones about how we all can play a role in pushing forward for change.

An "epoch-defining book" (The Guardian) and "this generation’s Silent Spring" (The Washington Post), The Uninhabitable Earth is both a travelogue of the near future and a meditation on how that future will look to those living through it - the ways that warming promises to transform global politics, the meaning of technology and nature in the modern world, the sustainability of capitalism and the trajectory of human progress. The Uninhabitable Earth is also an impassioned call to action.

Greta Thunberg has created The Climate Book in partnership with more than one hundred of these experts in order to equip us all with this knowledge. Alongside them, Thunberg shares her own stories of learning, demonstrating, and uncovering greenwashing around the world. This is one of our biggest problems, she shows, but also our greatest source of hope.

The consummate climate communicator!
At once detailed and factual yet immensely hopeful and non apocalyptic. Her personal and engaging style helps us understand how climate change affects all of our lives. She winsomely dragged my sorry denier's ass to the truth.

Facts won’t move us toward
Having all the facts is not the solution to having a discussion on this topic. Thanks to Katharine Hayhoe we have a blueprint to build our conversations on.

important book to read/listen
I appreciated Katharine Hayhoe's non judgmental approach to how to talk about climate change and bring us all together. This book isn't loaded with complicated concepts, it's accessible and meaningful to all, including and maybe especially those who know a lot and those who want, or even don't want to learn. Hear it and start, or continue, the climate conversations, wherever you are because climate matters to all of us. Well narrated by the author, great to hear the passion and compassion in her voice.

Optimistic while realistic
Katharine Hayhoe has cred as a climate scientist, and as an Evangelical Christian she has the ability to communicate with a community containing too many climate contrarians. This book does an excellent job of explaining that we don't need to go to the opposite extremes of either despair or denial, but there are practical Creation Care options for us, at both the personal and societal/political levels. The audiobook is read by the author with her engaging style.
